Abstract
This study examined the association of cytokine gene polymorphisms with intrahepatic bile duct wall fibrosis in human clonorchiasis. A total of 240 residents in Heilongjiang, China underwent ultrasonography, blood sampling, and stool examination. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) sites for IFN-¥ã (+874 T/A), IL-10 (-1,082 G/A, -819 C/T, -592 C/A), TNF-¥á (-308 G/A), and TGF-¥â1 (codon 10 T/C, codon 25 G/C) genes were observed with the TaqMan allelic discrimination assay. No significant correlation was observed between individual cytokine gene polymorphisms and intrahepatic duct dilatation (IHDD). Among individuals with clonorchiasis of moderate intensity, the incidence of IHDD was high in those with IFN-¥ã intermediate-producing genotype, +874AT (80.0%, P = 0.177), and in those with TNF-¥á low-producing genotype, -308GG (63.0%, P = 0.148). According to the combination of IFN-¥ã and TNF-¥á genotypes, the risks for IHDD could be stratified into high (intermediate-producing IFN-¥ã and low producing TNF-¥á), moderate, and low (low-producing IFN-¥ã and high producing TNF-¥á) risk groups. The incidence of IHDD was significantly different among these groups (P = 0.022): 88.9% (odds ratio, OR = 24.0) in high, 56.5% (OR = 3.9) in moderate, and 25.0% (OR = 1) in low risk groups. SNP of IFN-¥ã and TNF-¥á genes may contribute to the modulation of fibrosis in the intrahepatic bile duct wall in clonorchiasis patients.
